I have watched every single, solitary video with this woman presenting information (my favorite is her making a chocolate cake that I would absolutely slap my mother to eat) and she is simply amazing: an absolute master of baking, but not conceited or dismissive of the kinds of questions home cooks and bakers are definitely going to have. She's funny and warm, to boot! I think this is what utter passion combined with experience and a down-to-earth attitude yields, and I'm absolutely here for it. Give Erin her own show and watch her become world famous- she deserves every bit of success that is just out here waiting for her!
_For later_ 1 1/4 C. all-purpose flour 1 pinch. salt 8 TBS. butter -1/4 C. ice water Everything must be cold. Coat 1/2 in cubed butter with the flour. Squish them with fingers. Add 1 to 2 TBS of cold water into the mixture one at a time. *Don't* knead. Sift them gently together instead. Take out the big piece that's ready, continue with the leftovers that were at the bottom of the bowl. But sprinkle the water in. Toss it in the fridge for at least 30 min wrapped in plastic. Preferably more. Then roll with a small handful of flour. If too thin, fold it together in fourths. Brush excess flour away.
Excellent tutorial. At first I thought, man, this is a long video. But it's all good and educational, and very entertaining. I love all the troubleshoot tips. Erin is just bright and makes you feel confident, it's like you're baking with a friend in the kitchen.
Erin McDowell you are a gift. due to covid I'm stuck homeschooling and you are teaching me as well as my grandsons how to bake, not to mention science and math. GIRL YOU ARE THE WHOLE PACKAGE! THANK YOU a struggling grandma
You're a natural teacher, Erin. Thank you for sharing all this amazing content. I have been on a mission to make a good crust for years and you've helped crack the code. Using your method along with half and half instead of water I made a killer crust for apple dumplings. Cubing the butter, chilling the flour, your mixing technique, and letting the dough rest before rolling out were all great tips contributing to a super flakey, delectable crust. Happy Thanksgiving and happy pie making!
I made this crust for a peach cobbler, it was excellent,! Definitely a keeper, this will be my go to recipe for golden flakey crust, I love the way she explains size of butter chunks matter, I am an experienced cook who is learning more about baking, I bought her book, worth the money, I wish you continued success
Oh my goodness! Best pie crust tutorial ever! I've been making the pecan pies for Thanksgiving for the past 30 year. The fillings is awesome, but the crust...ok. I'm so excited to bring the best pies ever to Thanksgiving this year. Thanks for ALL the great tips! And Thanks for addressing the biggest issue with my soggy bottom crust with my custard pies!! Thank you!
My computer is on and in the kitchen, as your channel just came on. Now I am learning without trying while cooking/BAKING A PIE ! so articulate and comprehensive!
Thank you so much! Now I know why my attempt at pie crust turned out to be more like a shortbread cookie. I also appreciate not assuming everyone has or wants to use a food processor. Simple and to the point!
I used the all butta pie dough for 6" quiches tarts today. I prebaked the crusts till fairly browned before filling them, which made them crispy and crackly. You could hear the crunch when biting into them. OMG, Erin! You are a goddess!!
I’ve just begun my interest in pie making. I watched a few of your classes here on TH-cam before attempting my first crust. I followed your steps for a buttery crust and decided to let it chill overnight. Oh my goodness. Not once did I ever think I would be able to create something so beautiful. I did an apple pie because we had apples and the filling was a bit soggy. I know now where I went wrong and will try again. But the crust was absolutely divine. Thank you so much 🙏
You definitely need your own show on Food Network!!OMG ! I’m LOVING you!!! You’ve already got a huge fan base I’m guessing, AND I saw your Westie on another video AND I’m now obsessed!!! I think you’re fabulous!❤️❤️❤️😘🙋‼️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰

Absolute favorite pie crust teaching EVER!! Some seriously helpful technical bits, as well as more subtle nuances I had not, before today, considered. Gracias, wowsa AND thank you! What a lovely channel, w/some lovely & talented people =) Truly happy to have found you all today~ Sammie in New Mexico
you're the first channel to address size of the butter. everyone else says "pea" size. bless you for this help and the distinction for flaky and mealy, why, and how to get there.
I'm late to this video, but after Erin's help I made my first successful flakey pie crust last night after failed attempts with other youtube chefs/tutorials... Not as beautiful, but definitely passable and my husband LOVED it.. And he's not a pie person.. She's amazing.
For years I was very well known for my pies (the pie dough really) and then, I decided to do the 'keep it all cold' method and they were horrid, so now I have returned to the 'room temp' method, and they are once again, wonderful and everyone loves them.
What an incredible lesson in flakey pie crusts! Thank you so much! It looked so delicious, especially the apple Carmel crust!! Wow so many layers of flakiness! Your guest was soooooo knowledgeable and such a great teacher and you a great student!
So glad you enjoyed Erin's tutorial, Kathleen! If you'd like to watch more "Dear Test Kitchen," we've got all the episodes right over here: f52.co/dear-test-kitchen
Here is a tip I use to help from incorporating too much flour while rolling. I put my crust in an extra large food bag and roll. Unless it is too sticky, it helps make a more flaky dough.
Thank you very much for this video, but I ask you to please lower the music levels in future videos. (Or eliminate it entirely.) I struggled to hear the speech above the music at many places.
OMG! I made your pie crust today and did it exactly like you demonstrated, crimping and all, and it was awesome. It looked beautiful and it tasted like heaven! I will never make any other pie crust recipe and I will definitely never buy pre-made crust again.Thank you!
I forgot to comment long ago. I have used this crust many times since the video. My family thinks they are incredible. I must admit ...they are. I am a former military vet and I own my own company. There is nothing I like to do more than prepare large meals for my family on the weekends. I have to be honest...I told my wife. I like being able to out cook all the woman in the family.Erin.....your pie crust is so wonderful. I love doing the two layer for apple pies. Have to be careful with the filling and its easy to get your filling to "soupy" if you are not careful.Thanks so much. The holidays are coming and I hope my pies are as successful as last year. All thanks to you....I get..my gosh...your crust are so good!!!!
I really appreciate how detailed she was about mixing in the water. I e always struggled with pie crust and getting the right hydration. I feel like every other video I’ve seen they just say “mix in as little water possible, while touching it as little as possible”. That has always led me to crust that is way to dry and crumbles apart after resting. I really hope this video helps!
I use a cheese grater for my butter that’s been chilled in the freezer. Then after I grated it, I will stick it back in the freezer before cutting it into the flour. It works wonders for my dough! 😊
Watched a few other people making apple pie but I feel Erin is the best which is why I bought her Book of Pie; an excellent resource with tips and recipes! One person said you shouldn’t make apple pie if you don’t add ginger to it. They recommended you make a galette or a Tarte Tatin. While I enjoy making those, I really love our family apple pie recipe from my mother and grandmother which doesn’t have ginger. It’s been my family’s favorite since I was a kid and before that. I say, don’t be judgy, just make whatever recipe your family likes! 😍
Wonderful video! I don’t think I’ve ever had a ‘butter crust’! I am usually disappointed with the crust and just eat the filling and leave the tasteless crust. I am definitely going to try this!!! Thank you for this very informative video! You are good instructors! 🥧
Erin…you are a breath of fresh air! So enjoy your videos. You could be talking about the composition of Mars and I’d still be captivated by your wit and neat gyrations. You rule! Thank you…
Erin-thanks to you I’m back starting today! Watched you for hours on a sleepless night and after many years of NOT pie baking - I’m going to get back at it today. Thank you 🙏
Erin, I have to thank you for all the information you share in these entertaining videos. Plus, your pleasant personality is so uplifting I really enjoy your company, playing on my TV! I tried your all butter pie crust, even though I usually make a press in the pan oil crust (because I find it easier than rolling it out) and I have to say, the pie I made was, in my humble opinion, a Blue Ribbon Winner! It was soooo delicious my son agreed that it would win a prize in any pie contest! Thank you so much for all your videos, they are extremely helpful, and I've been baking for many, many years!!! ❤❤❤
After watching hundreds of pie videos, I finally feel rewarded by youtube for notifying me with this Pie 101 course! 💯 marks❣ Thanks to the Pie Princess! P.S: your channel didn't show this video in its playlists. Perhaps a better classification would help us find the recipes we're looking for!
I made this pie crust for Thanksgiving. I made an apple pie and a sour cherry pie. It was so good! Never made pie before and I am so glad I tried your recipe. With all your helpful tips it was really easy. Many thanks for the tutorial.
You are a great teacher This is something I always wanted to learn my mom's was so good.my mom never left us help .this is the way she did it .I tried to many of times never worked for me .hope this one works for me thank you
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I made this crust (for a sweet potato pie) and it turned out AMAZING. There could not be a more perfect pie crust. You rock!
She cares so much to make the perfect pie dough and she teaches very well edit: I love to see so much thought and technique in the simplest formulas / fewest components. Experience in technique can adjust and overcome concerns when we aren't exact yet with our hands. Fixing a great effort for the best.
I'm buying your pie book! Is there a pre order? Because it can't come soon enough! Love love love your teaching techniques of how it should look and what challenges may arise. Thanks
Hi Erin! I need to triple your “all buttah” recipe and want to use grams instead of cups. Is it as simple as multiplying the flour by 3? I love using a scale but getting weights right is very challenging. I heard that flour in grams is a 100% ratio like your recipe would be 150g x3 = 3 3/4 cups or 450g. Is that correct? I am sure you are bombarded with questions this time of year but it would be fantastic if you could help me make 3 all buttah crusts ( 1 for a pumpkin pie and 2 for an apple pie). I just received your Book on Pie last week and it is absolutely amazing! You are my baking hero ❤️ TYIA
Thank you so much!! Erin is such a great teacher this is by far the most detailed pie crust demo! I love hoe she explains how and why things work/don't work, it makes more sense than just follow along. Now I'm much less afraid to try my first pie crust!
Thank you Erin! You gave me the confidence to attempt pie crusts again after avoiding it for 4 years! I did get carried away squishing the butter it's SO soothing. It was the rough puff video and this 😊🙏🏼🌷🙏🏼😊 God bless
I usually add ice to my water to keep it cold and have found that by using a gravy separator, I can strain out the ice as I pour plus control a very small stream of water. It works great!
You had me at the part where you took out the pie dough that was already wet enough to add water to those stupid dry leftover bits, that is always my issue and I end up either over working dough to get them to incorporate or under working too much because I am afraid of over working it and it falls apart! Life changing tip, mind blown!🤣
Yes, I agree about part of your dough sticking together and being perfectly hydrated but what about all the bits of powdery flour left behind? Take the perfect dough ball out and set it aside, then flick drops of water from your fingers into the dry dough and lightly toss to mix! 👏🏻 I love it! That’s the answer to my problem with pastry dough mixing. Thanks Erin!
She is amazing. The ability to have a dough that is mottled with butter but that still can be handled like a sturdy dough is insane. She's walking a tightrope effortlessly, and I now need her cookbook.
I have been making pies according to this method and recipe for a month! Totally sold and my husband eats all his crust! So glad I watched this. Does Erin have any cook books out?
Erin I have to tell you, you are one amazing lady. Why do you not have your own tv show??? I tried the pie crust. It was all good till I popped it in the oven. What a FIASCO! I had pulled the pies out of the fridge. BTW: All was going perfectly. I chilled it at every stage. Rolled out like a dream. Anyway back to my story. In the oven the pies go, I set the timer for 15 minutes. Made a mistake and hit cancel... oops. That shut off the oven, but I didn't realize it. I reset the timer and off I go. 15 minutes l go to reduce the oven temp (my favorite pie baking method) and it's at 185. Oh my gosh. I turn the oven back on but by then the damage was done. The butter was melting, dripping onto my pizza stone... :/ black smoke billowing from the burners. My hubs and I rush through the house opening doors and windows, turning on ceiling fans. LOL What a sight! The crust was tough when I pulled the pies out of the oven. My husband said it was the best he'd ever had. By this time I'm laughing and crying at the same time. I will be trying this recipe again once this pie is gone. I gave the other to my neighbors, hoping they don't break a tooth. :) Anyway, had to share my funny story with you. Bless you Erin! You are an inspiration!
She’s so fun to watch. I’m making my very first pie crust ever and I’m 56. 😂 I told my hubs and son the crust is going to fall apart. The cookbook told me to cut my butter in 2 tablespoons at a time, BAD advice. Anyway I’ll parbake and we can eat the pumpkin pie right from the pie plate. 🤣
@@food52 Tried your recipe and it was really good. No soggy bottom for my pumpkin pie .All pie was eaten along with the crust. Great comments on my crust, thanks to you.

Where is the crust recipe? I cant find
To keep my ingredients cold while I'm mixing my pie dough, I freeze my enameled cast iron Dutch oven overnight and use that as my mixing bowl.
Stacey Lee Weeaks-Hernandez that’s a really good idea! Thanks!
That's a great tip -- thanks for sharing, Stacey!
Stacey Lee Weeaks-Hernandez brilliant idea

I just received your Book on Pie last week and it is absolutely amazing! You are my baking hero ❤️ TYIA
Thank you so much!! Erin is such a great teacher this is by far the most detailed pie crust demo! I love hoe she explains how and why things work/don't work, it makes more sense than just follow along. Now I'm much less afraid to try my first pie crust!
hoe?
Thank you Erin! You gave me the confidence to attempt pie crusts again after avoiding it for 4 years! I did get carried away squishing the butter it's SO soothing. It was the rough puff video and this 😊🙏🏼🌷🙏🏼😊 God bless
I love this pie dough. You are a very good teacher. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed watching Erin's tutorial, Faith!
I have been looking for this video my entire life!
Glad you found this video useful, Maddie!
I usually add ice to my water to keep it cold and have found that by using a gravy separator, I can strain out the ice as I pour plus control a very small stream of water. It works great!
Every recipe I have tried is perfect. It shows you love to bake and cook. It is your passion to share.
THE MUSIC NEEDS TO GO
What pie pans do you recommend?
Thank you so much for having someone make mistakes and you correct him
❤ I appreciate it ❤❤❤
Yep, you need your own show. You are AMAZING 👏 ❤🎉
Such a great tutorial. Erin is an excellent teacher.
Great video Erin. Thanks for all the helpful tips, I will definitely try this recipe for the upcoming holidays. Btw, Josh is adorable ❤️ hugs.
You had me at the part where you took out the pie dough that was already wet enough to add water to those stupid dry leftover bits, that is always my issue and I end up either over working dough to get them to incorporate or under working too much because I am afraid of over working it and it falls apart! Life changing tip, mind blown!🤣
Yes, I agree about part of your dough sticking together and being perfectly hydrated but what about all the bits of powdery flour left behind? Take the perfect dough ball out and set it aside, then flick drops of water from your fingers into the dry dough and lightly toss to mix! 👏🏻
I love it! That’s the answer to my problem with pastry dough mixing. Thanks Erin!
Also keeping a spray mister in the fridge to barely mist water on the dryer bits
@@luthersteaching5228 or get a water mister and keep it in the fridge for those dryer bits
She is amazing. The ability to have a dough that is mottled with butter but that still can be handled like a sturdy dough is insane. She's walking a tightrope effortlessly, and I now need her cookbook.
So glad you enjoyed Erin's tutorial!
That buttery flavor is heavenly. I made the single, one stick butter crust.
Excellent teacher. I don't bake that much anymore but wish I had had her tips way back then.
So glad you enjoyed Erin's tutorial, Judith!
Thank you enjoyed video . Also liked tutorial on the rolling pins..
I love Erin and her recipes and learning from her❤❤❤
This has been so helpfull for me ! thank you for this and all your videos. They are so good!
Hi. Watching in 2021. What an OUTSTANDING video. Very informative. Thank you for sharing.
I have been making pies according to this method and recipe for a month! Totally sold and my husband eats all his crust! So glad I watched this. Does Erin have any cook books out?
Hi Val, glad you found Erin's tutorial helpful! Yes, she does, it's called "Fearless Baker" -- hope you enjoy!
Thank u very much!
Erin I have to tell you, you are one amazing lady. Why do you not have your own tv show??? I tried the pie crust. It was all good till I popped it in the oven. What a FIASCO! I had pulled the pies out of the fridge. BTW: All was going perfectly. I chilled it at every stage. Rolled out like a dream. Anyway back to my story. In the oven the pies go, I set the timer for 15 minutes. Made a mistake and hit cancel... oops. That shut off the oven, but I didn't realize it. I reset the timer and off I go. 15 minutes l go to reduce the oven temp (my favorite pie baking method) and it's at 185. Oh my gosh. I turn the oven back on but by then the damage was done. The butter was melting, dripping onto my pizza stone... :/ black smoke billowing from the burners. My hubs and I rush through the house opening doors and windows, turning on ceiling fans. LOL What a sight! The crust was tough when I pulled the pies out of the oven. My husband said it was the best he'd ever had. By this time I'm laughing and crying at the same time. I will be trying this recipe again once this pie is gone. I gave the other to my neighbors, hoping they don't break a tooth. :) Anyway, had to share my funny story with you. Bless you Erin! You are an inspiration!
She’s so fun to watch. I’m making my very first pie crust ever and I’m 56. 😂 I told my hubs and son the crust is going to fall apart. The cookbook told me to cut my butter in 2 tablespoons at a time, BAD advice. Anyway I’ll parbake and we can eat the pumpkin pie right from the pie plate. 🤣
Erin you're a great teacher and the bear baker thanks!
Excellent demonstration/tutorial!
Fun video! I use a cold pastry blender because my hands are so warm. I also use cold milk in place of the cold water. Just a preference. Great job!!
God bless 🙌you Erin...beautiful tutorial. I must thank you you are truly blessed.
I use a spray bottle with water in it to spritz those flour areas that do not come together. Thank you for a great recipe.
That's a great tip -- thanks for sharing!
@@food52 Tried your recipe and it was really good. No soggy bottom for my pumpkin pie .All pie was eaten along with the crust. Great comments on my crust, thanks to you.
